>>11633581I kinda hate this whore desu>hey Star Wars fans check out my tits I mean my Star Wars collection!!And she doesn't even have an of I don't think. So guess it's all for attention
Sure hope we get a good TVC reveal for this Gift the Galaxy thing. My expectation is kind of high considering we got the Anakin and HTTE 3-packs during last year's campaign.
i am here once again to plead with the mesopotamian black series gods for more kotor figures
>>11633820>Mandalorian Neo-CrusadersThey would never do it justice.
>>11633640Whom?
>>11633820No thanks
thanks to whomst posted about the clearance ARCs, added a couple to my pile of loot
>>11633944TVC figures at $5-7 are always nice
>>11633560The biggest issue for me is how skinny the official one is. A lot of Black Series are skinny though, so it's a tough balance to find, I'd rather her not look huge next to Luke. This custom I found looks good, though it is still missing the shin and knee pads.
Need a Torbin figure so I can paint his hair red for Ben Skywalker
>>11634308With an alternate head to make Master Incelus
>>11634331$250 fucking million and that was the best they could do with hair and makeup.
>>11634308>>11634331That's the kind of aged up makeup you'd see in a sitcom.
>>11633640>doesn't even have an ofIt's unthinkable! Oh wait, she has Fansly instead... you can go about your business. Move along.
>>11633633Who is this George of whom you speak?
>>11634395some old boomer that accidentally made the first star wars by coasting off of the work of much more talented people pay him no mind, the franchise has only gotten better and better under disney, as proven by the numbers
>>11634345>>11634347What's even funnier is that he's 25 in the flashbacks and 41 in the "present" so he wasn't even that old, but for some reason they tried to make him look like he's 60If they'd tried to make him look 40 it probably would still look unconvincing but it wouldn't have been as laughably bad as what they did
>>11633820I bought the newer TVC Revan and loved him, made the mistake of going back and buying the older Darth Malak figure to put on my desk with him... holy shit is the Darth Malak figure one of the worst 3.75" figures ever made, I'm in disbelief
>>11634966the black series malak is probably my favorite figure, with the missing jaw and all. the price of the old malak is crazy for how jacked up he looks
>>11634966Yup. He looked awful even for the time. Too short and the face is horrid. Bastila looks much better and fits fine with the newer Revan.
in the spirit of thanksgiving, I am thankful for these Jedi Survivor figures
>>11635088Me too. Just wish they'd make Dagan and Turgle in TVC, and finally make Bode for both scales too. Feels weird that the final boss is being neglected.
>>11634253Ingredients please?I think the head is ML Siryn.
>>11635088I'm thankful for the Shadows of the Empire figures. Never thought we'd get a Dash Rendar, I don't even hate the head.
>>11635123Now that they've more or less run out of movie characters, I feel like we are going to be eating good with EU. Or maybe not since I guess they are mandated to make Disney+ slop figures first even when they know they won't sell
>>11635110From the page I found it on>Made up ML Siryn head. Repainted the hair and lips. ML Black widow upper torso, reva hands, legs and shoulder pads. Jaina Solo belt and saber. Dagobah Luke arms, jyn erso scarf (modified and painted) and chewie goggles
>>11635088Nice display. I'm grateful for Jabba's throne room and any Jabba related figures.
>>11635561>dat shitty lighting>dat washmediocre photo, but damn, i can't help but admire that amazing sculpt on all the figures.Star Wars in 3.75" always had amazing sculpts.
Hasbro: Reuse the molds.
>>11635584why are the non-alien faces so bad up until like 4 years ago?
>>11635734NTA but It takes the highest skill to sculpt and paint good looking proper human faces vs weird aliens, so they just photoreal it now and no human needs to be involved.
>>11635734Because of paint. Their raw sculpts were pretty good most of the time. Photoreal really has been the best innovation in mass toy production in the last decade.
>>11635088Hell yea. Just ordered that Turgle set for $26 on Amazon. Gonna redo my display and make a whole Jedi Survivor focused shelf
>>11635811>and make a whole Jedi Survivor focused shelfWow two figures.What a display!
>>11635864he could probably use some inquisitors
>>11634331kek, I forgot about this stupid shit
>>11635088I really like them as well. My only issue is, they should have just given Dagan a swappable arm, so you don't have to buy two of him. The BX should have just been part of another droid 3 pack, with KX and Droideka.
>>11635864Except I've got two Cals, several of the Bedlam Raiders droids, Merrin, Dagan Gera, plus all the various Imperial trooper types alongside Cal and Second Sister from the first game.
>>11635751saw this on a prototype archive site the other day, i believe it. makes me wonder how hard it would be to just redo the paint on some older figures
>>11636134even unpainted recasts are noticeably better looking than the original paint job.
>>11636141And just to note, the only thing this person did was increase the size using a molding technique by about 10%So since it's a recast, using a production figure to make the mold from, it lost a little detail, since recasts are imperfect.
Posted without comment.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mpA_RhxnKzM&pp=ugUEEgJqYQ%3D%3D
>>11635941I agree. Even if they made it a deluxe set, I would have rather gotten swappable arms and a cap piece to cover all of his looks in his High Republic tunic. Then they could have saved his single mainline release for the look he has in the very first encounter.
>>11636134
>>11636164
>We will never return to 2007 star wars figuresWe genuinely peaked here and its been a downfall ever si nce
>>11636290>2007No, that AT-ST has really never been good, but go 1 year later and we got vehicles like these that were both good at the time and also aged well.
>>11636145Looks great, hate that I'll have to pay rape prices for it>>11636428Not bad, that's about what I plan on doing. Can't hope to match the IG customizers I've seen. Are you planning to do any more to him?
why are they scared of making a black series yoda? the figuarts one looks nice but ain't no way i pay $100 for it
>>11636418God those suck. Not even half as fun as the Star Wars hippos.
>>11637481
>>11636418I'm so sick of the super deformed aesthetic.
>>11636472meh he didn't have the Kevin Costner lookalike but the paintjob looks good!
>>11637526It's so funny how this and the Marvel thread regularly get people who are angry that X character hasn't been made yet somehow they never thought to actually look up whether the company has made oneLike how hard is it to Google "Black Series Yoda"
>>11637526i got the middle one, but the right one is fuckin expensive on ebay. always around 200. i want a new prequel yoda
>>11637602the black series version ends up costing more than the figuarts. gimme a break, want one i can pay 30 bucks for
>>11637710you can literally find black series yoda on ebay for $30 did you seriously not look for it
>>11637718there's a difference between the clone wars and OT yoda, OT yoda is cheap
>>11637729NO! No different. Only different in your mind
>>11637729Hey here's how you get a PT Yoda for $30>buy $30 OT Yoda>remove belt>open cloak>put included lightsaber in his handWow look at that you've got a PT Yoda
>>11637799This is what I did lmao
Got SHF Old Ben Kenobi classic ver. in the other day. He goes quite nicely with the Black Series ANH cast. Very happy to have this lineup on my SW shelf right now. Such a classic group.
>>11637602They're in store buyers. If it wasn't in their store it doesn't exist.
>>11637849It's strange to me how the older photoreal figures are better than so many newer photoreal ones. That Farm Boy Luke and his bizarre stare and neck joint would give me nightmares staring at me from the shelf. And Leia now has multiple plastic hood attachments to try to simulate the hood when the cloth goods did it all without the need for extra accessories you have to store away when not using one. Not to mention her leg range is mostly gone now despite the higher cut they had to add in her dress, and her lifeless stare isn't as bad as Luke's but it ain't great. The only issue with the Archive ANH Leia was you had to add some matte sealer to her face to keep it from being glossy.
i wasn't planning on being one of those guys who just collects jedi/ sith, but the only characters i care about getting are the remaining prequel council membersmaybe some misc ayys and eu guys for variety as well
>>11637939Bounty hunters are cool and interesting to get. Ollie's tends to have the more obscure ones for 5 bucks.
>>11637940i already have the esb bounty hunter line up, the shitty gaming greats jango, and that one droid from mando s1he's pretty neat, i'm surprised that nobody seems to care about him
I don't collect SW but I saw black series RotS Anakin at Target the other day and now I kinda want to.
>>11637953The new Anakin and Obi-Wan were what got me back into the Black series. I haven't bought any in years, and even got rid of the collection I had, but the update to the articulation and faces has been pretty good. On top of that, considering all the Jedi, Sith, and Clones they're doing, I doubt they'll get around to some of these niche guys again for a long time (if ever) again, so it felt like a good time to get back in.
>>11637937Yeah, Farm Boy look looks really weird to me. It's bizarre because Han and Leia look so good in comparison. I dunno. I'm not as much of a fan of the cloth goods, at least how Hasbro tends to do them. They never lay quite right and the threadcount is always too low. The plastic looks so much better imo.
>>11636366bros I miss shit like this. Not only did you get a good bang for your buck pack but they clearly had effort put in it lke the simple christophsis cardboard background. Don't they just do cheap cardboard boxes with images of figures in black ink nowadays?
>>11638031saga collection has the most soul
>>11638031I'm so tired of the Black Series and vintage cardback. So boring.
>>11638036I with they would just finish the O96 in TVC so we can retire it. I want a new line look that won't be hindered by tiny bubbles because they can't cover the film out. But I understand they are counting on carded collector autism to basically sell 2 or 3 of each figure and most people in the older population of the customer base probably aren't going to bother starting a new line.
>>11638033I pretty much agree. It's got the classic double race track design and a good size film out that calls back to the vintage line, but the bubble is large enough to fit big characters, multiple small ones, or a single regular figure with a ton of accessories. This is one that should be visited again.30th will also always have a special place in my heart just because that was definitely the peak of all my years in collecting.
>>1163806030th has some real weird designs and it seems like the stuff released for that line ends up holding the most value. jacen and jaina, kruhk, TFU shaak tii are all wildly expensive. i just got ahold of all the concept figures that i liked. pic rel is my favorite one
>>11638043I don't keep anything carded but it was still nice seeing a package refresh every 1-2 years. Even Black Series has a change in packaging every so often even if there's no rebrand. TVC has run its course.
>>11638063>jacen and jaina, kruhk, TFU shaak tii are all wildly expensiveThat's because that wave was TRU exclusive at a time when a lot of TRU stores weren't even bothering to order new product due to a pegwarmers from the previous waves and the Saga Legends reissues
>>11638071Hasbro should force retailers who want an exclusive to order a specific amount
>>11638036>>11638064thisi don't post on rebels cum anymore but the boomers there savaged me whenever i said the vintage cardback was played outi actually really like the white card/comic style character art packaging that started with the roleplay lightsabers and is now on the Epic Hero series... it's what I would imagine modern 3.75 Star Wars would look like if it wasn't a hostage of nostalgia
>>11638064It would also help the modern 3.75 line stand apart from the Retro line. It probably is confusing to the average person looking at the pegs and seeing essentially the same things but one is twice as expensive. >>11638127I really like the way the Epic stuff looks too. The character artwork is really well done.
Honestly I wouldn't mind if TVC continued as a premium version of 3.75, but then have another regular line as the standard version with 2010 era articulation and deco. I don't think every character needs ball-jointed hips and wrists and there's a ton of older figures without modern-era articulation that still hold up.
>>11638190That’s literally what I’ve been hoping Epic World of Action ends up being. The last few figures that have come out recently with the new articulation have been really good, and nice and cheap to boot. And, y’know, FUN.
TVC Noob here. How bad is Luke's X Wing? I'm seeing reviews saying it's okay but there's a lot of issues with it compared to newer models like Poe's Orange one. I really love Red 5 but is it worth it? It's currently on sale for 85 and I'm thinking about it.
>>11638367I just want them to expand the characters. YakFace has the first wave of the rebrand to Action Verse with all the same things we've had plenty of on Epic; Mando, Vader, Stormtrooper, and Grogu.
>>11638063#NotMyYoda
>>11638449>rebrand to Action VerseAnother rebrand? Why does the kiddy/budget line get its name changed like twice a year lol
>>11638496I'm not sure. It went from Epic Heroes to Epic World of Action and now to Action Verse. Maybe it was just too long of a name to always type or say. I do think it's a better name since it emphasizes more of what it's about, being more about action and play, rather than TVC that is definitely more focused on collecting.
Are they any big improvements to the Mace Windu in the new 2-pack, or am I fine grabbing the older Black Series? I'm getting back into the Black Series and filling in some holes in the collection.
>>11638739besides the new head, the color of the flesh and tunic is different. I think the two pack one (right) looks better
>>11638747Same, but not a big enough improvement for that price difference. If I hadn't missed the 2-pack orders, I'd be down, but fuck eBay prices. Thanks, anon.
>>11638419Just buy it.It's going to get too expensive in the future and are the inaccuracies somethinjg you would have noticed without a review?
Anyone buy anything during the sales?I've picked up:>TVC- Imperial Lightcruiser Hallway- Bom Vimdin- 2x Gamorrean Guards - 2x Imperial disguise Cal Kestis - Kanan Jarrus - Deluxe BoBF Boba Fett- Aurra Sing - 2x Imperial Jetpack Trooper>Black Series - Jedi Survivor Cal, Turgle, and Skoova Stev set>Epic Series- N-1 Starfighter - Chewbacca - Stormtrooper and mech - Captain Rex and mech- IG-11 w/ speeder bikeBesides the playset and troopers, ost of the TVC figures are for custom fodder. The Epic stuff is for my kid
>>11639339Dang that’s a lot anon. I don’t want anything that’s out right now
>>11639339I didn't see any screaming deals so noi was hoping RossCon would bring the Amazon price for the light cruiser hallway down, but no such luck
>>11639367>RossConYou mean Ross right? Why do people call it Rosscon? Is it just some dumb reddit thing
>>11639367I feel that. I was watching it like a hawk on Amazon hoping it would come down but never did. I even went on several hunts to Ross hoping to find it but mine sucks ass and never gets anything good, so I decided to just bite the bullet and get it from Pulse. And really $45 isn't a terrible price for it. It probably won't come down much more than that for a while at least. I only wanted 3 total and this will be my second one so I can hold tight for a really good sale later on. I still want to get the Armorer's Forge too which is the one I'd really rather wait to get for less than $30.
>>11639413yeah ross is just an abysmal placei never found anything at any of the ones in my area except the $50 AT-ST, and I got sick of the sights, sounds, and smells of that shithole so i stopped going
Picked up the Mafex Mando and sacrificed the BS one to improve the durasteel version. >>11639339Bbts had the Mafex RotJ Boba on sale again so I grabbed it. I also grabbed a Lando cause it was $6
>>11639373It's like Wallyworld. Rednecks like giving shit nicknames, even if it's longer than the real name.
>>11638063You jus listed legacy collection figures.
>>11639373>>11639590it's just a fun reference to the semiannual appearance of toys/collectibles en masse at the discount retailerlike how people used to call a HTF figure that showed up nowhere but then suddenly cropped up at Ross a 'Ross exclusive'
>>11639530Damn that looks great. Maybe when some of the other Mandos get cheaper I'll try to do the same. Though I guess you're using the cape from the cheaper 6-inch figure right?
>>11640151>cape from the cheaper 6-inch figureYeah I've had that on there for a few years at this point. Gave him the Mafex rifle as well and I'm honestly happier with this figure than I am with the Mafex itself lol.
>>11639530>>11640209Looks good. I bought a printed Beskar pauldron for him years ago and I wanted to embed a magnet in his shoulder along with the two pauldrons so I could swap them out, but I never got around to it. I'm kind of surprised they've never gone back and done that release themselves. At least TVC got it with the Blurrg set.I'd love to have some more media of Din in his original armor set. A game would be great, just to show what he was up to like when he worked with that gang. Make it a spiritual sequel to Bounty Hunter.
>>11640218The Arvala-7 version had the beskar pauldron surprisingly, but yeah, odd they never did another. Maybe we'll get one on the newer mold. And a Mando game would've been a no-brainer, but instead we got Outlaws...
>>11640274Respawn was making a mandalorian game but it got axed. Honestly I’m glad because it was going to be first person which is gay. A mando game should be third person with a ton of armor cosmetics
>>11640324I don't disagree with that, butt at the same time I wouldn't mind if it was FPS. Mainly because I assume it was basically going to be Titanfall 2 with a Star Wars skin. The smooth and fast gameplay would have made up for lack of visible cosmetics for me.
>>11639616aw fuck you're right, legacy has all the expensive ones
Yakface is reporting this is releasing in April. Preorders soon on Amazon
>>11640946I wish they put this droid in the other two pack with the clone commando. I have that one and think it looks kind of lame just being all white.
>>11635088Sweet to see people like Survivor figures. I got Fallen Order Cal and Trilla way back when the first game came out. Picked up Merrin a couple weeks back, is the Dagan worth looking for?How do we feel about the games? I liked both, and its sad that EA got bought by the Saudis and Respawn is impolding on itself
>>11639339Black SeriesRevenge of the Jedi VaderForce Ghost Qui GonThe Last Command 4 pack
>>11641113Don't tell me there's a possibility they won't finish the series.
>>11641113Anyone have the PS4 version? Is it bad or am I still going to be able to enjoy the gameplay and story?
>>11641113I really like Dagan, he looks nice. But it's hard to get him into a lot of poses mostly because he only has one arm. It would have been nice if they included a clear stand to have his sabers floating around him or something. As for the games, I absolutely love them. Pretty much the only Disney Star Wars content I acknowledge. >>11641194Well they are working on the third one. Even when a bunch of other games got cancelled, EA said they’re committed to Jedi 3. I just don't know how good it's going to be without the same director. I will be crushed if they don't stick the landing. I'm worried they will pull some bullshit like tying into the sequels or having Cal hang out with Mando, Grogu and Ahsoka. I don't want that. Feels like Mass Effect again where the main writer left after the second one which caused the third to suffer.
>>11641334I didn't know the director left. Here's hoping they were far enough along it won't be completely scrapped or ruined.
>>11641355Yeah he decided to form his own studio. But he left like right after Survivor released so he probably didn't do any work on the third one. I think he was a big part of creating the story too. I hope they had at least outlined or talked about where to go with the third so other people can pick up after him.
>>11641113>Sweet to see people like Survivor figures.Yeah, fake fans
Why is a single SW TVC $20, $25 etc and Epic World of Action single figures manage at $6-8? Their paint is usually nearly the same, and articulation is even similar now. The gap feels like a few dollars, not nearly triple the price.
>>11641436Hasbro knows they can charge more for a "premium" collector line
>>11641376Let me guess you think Anbore is peak cinema>>11641436There is quite a bit of difference between the two. Epics are mostly unpainted and have fewer parts. TVC definitely costs more to make. But still their pricing usually doesn't make sense
>>11641436The articulation between Epic and TVC is nowhere near the same. Epic is 9POA. TVC is usually 15-17 and and have a lot more parts to assemble. The paint is also a lot more simplified. Like even on the new Stormtroopet the elbows, hips, and knees of the bodysuit are left in the white plastic base instead of being black.
>>11641593>that picturet-this is a blue board...
>>11641595You like to see them exploded, do ya? Well here's another, you sick son of a bitch.
>>11641642
>>11641436Pretty much >Hasbro knows they can charge more for a "premium" collector lineWhile >>11641593 is also correct, the cost difference shouldn't be that gigantic. Which is also to say that 1:12 scale black series is also overpriced.
>>11641334I feel they introduced that hidden world in 2 so they could have Cal and co just hang out there and stay away from all that bullshit in the sequels. Same with Filoni putting Ahsoka in another galaxy in her show.
>>11635088That new head for Cal is so much fucking better that the original one. I'm glad they included it in the Turgle pack.
>>11641705I am just annoyed they didn't give it the defaulthair and went with one of the other styles so you can't kitbash a true accurate default appearance Cal
Don't collect SW so had no clue what (or who) this was, but found it (and other Star War's Black Series) at a Ross, all for $7.99 - 12.99. This was originally $7.99 but it looked like someone had torn through the package trying to steal the droid or something and it has a $5.99 clearance sticker so I paid for it since I had other things I was buying or I would wouldn't have wasted time getting in line just for it. I collect some robot type figures and would use it for that, but wouldn't mind 1-2 more. Ross didn't have any others and I don't remember seeing it at another store but DESU, I only picked this up because it was on a peg and I needed to literally move it off the peg to see the Reactions underneath, they were all packed together like sardines.However, when I went looking it up, figuring it would already on clearance, Amazon, BBTS, or any other place that still had in it stock had it normally priced, or didn't even list (Target, EE, etc.) - guessing it's old and that's why I found it at a Ross, and I probably won't ever find another and just be stuck with this? I'm not paying $20-$30 or more for something I don't really collect (no offense intended) just to army build a random robot. I see that there are models of this guy and even a Hot Toy and a nice looking maquette so I assume he's actually important to the Star War mythos, and I see another similar Hasbro toy but way fucking more expensive when I saw it for purchase.tl;dr I'm just shit out of luck, right?
>>11641855It looks like the hair is a separate piece on both heads. So if you were brave and skilled enough you probably could do a transplant of the default hair onto the new head. Personally I like the new hair more, since it was more of the style I used throughout most of the game.
>>11642034This same figure has been re-released a few times, originally it's from 2016. Right now he's full price at all the retailers because this one's considered a current release, but you can find the earlier versions for really cheap on eBay or Mercari. The only difference between the various releases is very minor paint difference, to the point where you might not even notice unless you have them in-hand and look closely.
>>11642034He's been released like two or three times in Black Series so far. Just search "Rogue One Black Series K-2SO" and you'll find them for about $20. You likely won't find him for the same price you got him at Ross at this point. Pulse has him for $16 but unless you are already a Premium member with free shipping, it won't be worth it to you to buy it from them.
>epic heroes finally starts getting decent figures with decent articulation>cancel the line and replace it with this ugly POTF beefy bullshit>include a retarded “model kit” that is literally only two piecesAwesome. Can’t wait for Mando, Grogu and Ahsoka. And can’t wait for the next line’s Vader, Mando, Grogu, and Ahsoka after this one is cancelled next year. I love Vader, Mando, Grogu, and Ahsoka and don’t ever want any other characters.
>>11642069So we really have circled back to the "kids won't buy them if they don't look like buff superheroes" philosophy
>>11642069Damn. I'm really disappointed by the aesthetic change. The Epic stuff was great because it mixed in well with TVC
>>11642069Also even worse it's 4.5" scale. Why do we need yet ANOTHER scale for Star Wars toys when the two main ones barely even sale.
>>11642073>new year, new crappy “kids” line in a new scale with the same 4 characters they always do that goes straight to OlliesWhat is the point of this humiliation ritual pretty much every year as it feels like? First it was force link, then galaxy of adventures, then mission fleet, then epic heroes, then epic world of action, then mix mashers, now this. They keep getting worse. No one wants them, no one buys them, it is just a waste of time and resources. I assume it is some executive mandate that there MUST always be a dogshit Star Wars budget/kiddy line on pegs. But why do they have to refresh it constantly? Just pick one scale and aesthetic and stick to it beyond the same 4 characters
>>11642082Epic was completely fine once they started bringing it to 9POA. I feel like it could have been the perfect line to create future collectors for TVC if they had just offered a better variety of characters. They could have started throwing in real weird ones too and get cross sells from TVC collectors. I bought the Skeleton Crew figures for that reason, same with Mando's swoop bike. They didn't even give it a real chance.
Just revealed in Brazil. TVC Obi-Wan and 212th Airborne trooper 2 pack. Obi-Wan has an alternate Force push hand. It's going to be the Walmart Collector Con exclusive.
>>11642105Also a new season 1 Mando for Black Series on the new body. Has an alt hand to help hold the vibroblade better. Preorder starts tomorrow at 1pm EST.
>>11642105Holy shit. Hopefully Cody soon too. And a single carded ROTS Anakin. The only thing that makes me sad is they decided to do full soft goods lower tunic for all the new prequel Jedi. Feels like a regression. Fabric skirt with soft plastic overlay for the flaps would have been perfect.
>>11642105>Highly sought-after figure>Make it a limited exclusiveFuck Hasblow and more importantly fuck niggers
>>11642073>Why do we need yet ANOTHER scale for Star Wars toys when the two main ones barely even sale.It's likely one of those things where their marketing department and focus groups determined that X scale is what sells the most with Y demographic. For some reason they don't understand that Star Wars isn't a hot enough property anymore to sell on name recognition alone, 4 years olds aren't going to be asking mom to buy them a Mando like they would a Spider-man. If they'd kept it at 3.75 they could at least attract the already existing collector base and it would probably make only a marginal impact on sales to kids. If kids aren't buying at 3.75, they're not going to buy at 4-5 inches.
Better look at the TVC set.
>>11642219
>>11642219>>11642221I am assuming these are hand painted prototypes because both look rough
>>11642219>>11642221Long overdue, I don't think Obi-Wan has had a brand new SA figure since 2005, everything since then is either a reissue of that figure or uses that figure as a base with some new parts
>>11642219>Walmart exclusiveI might end up passing on this because of that, but the Obi-Wan itself looks as good as I expected after the already great Kenobi show figures. I imagine this is a grail for a lot of people at this point. I wasn't thrilled with the reuse on the first TVC figure and that was 15 years ago now; it's been a long time coming.
>>11642115It's more so Walmart than Hasbro. They just talked about on a livestream with the brand team that Walmart has been looking for more ways to support TVC, which means they want more exclusives.
>>11642105Fuck off with this shit
>>11642105>>11642219>finally an official 3.75" airborne trooper after almost 20 (twenty) (XX) years>it's exclusive to a 2-pack with kenobi so you can't armybuild it without armybuilding kenobis>and it looks weirdly shitty on top of thatWhy is the kama seemingly gray instead of beige? Why does the helmet look so soft/mushy as if it's removable when hasbro did such a good job on the exact same helmet as a single non-removable piece with the purge trooper? Is the shoulderpad with the 'ammo' band comically oversized or is this just a horrible angle? The extra pouches strapped to the upper arm would be behind the rifle in that image, but are they actually there or did they get forgotten? How the fuck did the aliexpress bootleg maker do a significantly better job at this months ago than hasbro is doing now? The official one got the color of the bag more correct by making it beige instead of gray, but for fuck's sake I can't even give it credit for that when it left the cylinders on the bag strap unpainted. What a fucking mess.
>>11642315The helmet isn't removeable, they confirmed it's like the latest 501st clone. The pouches are there on the arm. Also remember, these are just 3D printed prototypes.
good thing most TVC collectors have a bunch of extra Temeura heads from clearance clones
>>11642315The kamas are gray even on the hot toy. It's probably the lighting in the movie that make them look beige in some shots. Also the bootleg helmet sucks desu anon
>>11642326Yeah I know it's always subject to change, I'll try to reserve any more judgment until the final version is seen, but I'm still really not optimistic about it from these preview images.
>>11642367I'm almost positive the bootleg helmet is more proportionately screen-accurate than this new official one; neither look perfect since the onscreen trooper had a lot of weathering which both the official and bootleg figures lack, but the official helmet looks vertically squished down a lot compared to how it should be, assuming that doesn't change from the prototype they're showing off.
>>11642410You know what, I thought the squared edges of the visor on the bootleg were inaccurate but I guess they aren't. The rounded edge on the new TVC might be more like the purge troopers, I think the helmets are ever so slightly different between the twoAnd yeah I wish they would weather the clones even just a little bit. They look so bland all clean
>>11642326So it's useless
>11642437bait used to be better than this, you must try harder than pretending to like removable helmets
>>11642283There's a strong chance they'll just release him single carded anyway
>>11642450Not everything is bait just because you have shit taste my dude
>>11642476They both will be, I'm sure.
A better photo of Mando. I'm surprised they didn't do a swappable pauldron like was discussed earlier in the thread. Though I guess it gives the excuse to release him again since this one is labeled as Pagadon, which is the ice planet from the very beginning of Chapter 1.
>>11642358but they should include something like that with the new price increase right?
>New TVC Airborne TrooperPlease finally give us all the Purge Troopers
>>11642503>ice planet from the very beginning of Chapter 1Maybe we'll finally get the fish man in TBS
>>11642503>>11642541>>11642647you are not real fans
>>11642059Thanks. This was sincerely helpful. I doubt I will want to pay $20 for him so I'll set some notifications on ebay, for what I want, I don't mind used but I do mind paying more than $10 a piece to try to have 2-4 background droids in a diorama, especially since I plan to put a paint wash on them!>>11642058>earlier versions for really cheapThank you, good to know, much appreciated!
Carded samples from the new two-pack
>>11643079Shit, they're packing them together in individual cards instead of in one of those special two-pack boxesGood chance this means they're not being released by themselves
>>11643089The Airborne trooper probably notBut since they specify Obi-Wan is an Utapau variant my guess is they'll reissue him on a different card, probably without the cloak and extra hand
>>11643089Obi-Wan definitely will be, notice how his namepill has the designation of "Utapau". They will definitely be doing a Mustafar version. Also Brandon mentioned in the livestream yesterday that they made the Airborne trooper with this set so that they have the tooling and can exploit it later
Target had the preorders up on this for $17.49. Of course it's sold out now.
When is the Obi Wan and Airborne trooper pack going up? I can't keep up with TVC news anymore but I do really want that
>>11643079Obi-Wan's card looks goofy like some fan made shit>>11643089>>11643100>army builder and much needed major main characterI don't see why this is even a 2 pack. If Obi-Wan was like some battle damaged repaint, it might make sense and be similar to things they used to do in the past. I am going to bet there won't be a single carded release of ROTS Obi-Wan. It will be like how they retardedly made the first clone wars Anakin and Obi-Wan black series target exclusives only in retro packaging
>>11643108There's more to this release than I thought. Obviously the overlays and armor is new, and the hands were updated to use ball joints instead of hinges, but it looks like the legs are new as well. The knee joint is placed higher, and the thighs don't have that little bit hanging over them. I'm surprised they went back and reworked it considering how new the mold is. Hopefully the new hands fit on a future movie Mando and he'll be better able to grip the darksaber and spear.
>>11643108is it controversial to say that this look is the best one for mando? it makes him look like a regular bounty hunter instead of some special warrior
>>11643527Beskar looks like a warrior at the end of his quest, but I always liked that first design for that scrappy look.
>>11643527>>11643558I liked it most with the beskar pauldron. Wish he could have had that look for a bit longer.
saw 2 girls from star wars vision (figuarts) for 30 euros each, are they worth it ?
>>11643676Yeah. If you don't like them you can just resell them
>>11643108Someone at Target has made a sensational new discovery. If you lower the initial price of something to a more reasonable figure, it might actually sell and not hang around for five years until it hits clearance. Revolutionary.
>>11643820Bring on my $40 deluxe single pack figures, I say! Ship them in huge cases.
Lol
>>11643079even though i'm pretty over the vintage cardback at this point, something about seeing prequel stuff on it tickles my brain in the right way
>>11643974If it was free I wouldn't take it. You could not pay me to take that garbage
Now I need to get Pullo for cheap and I'll be happy
>>11643974Ross is choking on these things. Reva and this bitch are drowning what very little good will Star Wars had left.
>>11644115awesome
>>11642429Shit, you're right, I never noticed the purge trooper helmet had some differences but yeah I guess it is accurate to that, maybe it's the same helmet from the TVC purge trooper and I just didn't realize how it'd look in white? Confusingly the TBS purge troopers' helmets look more like the airborne helmet, with the taller overall shape and the squared visor, which is probably partly what caused me to miss the existence of these differences before now.>>11642541Getting the full set of purge troopers (ideally all 4 on the same body) in TVC would a fuckin dream, I only really collect 3.75" and own almost no 6" figures, but these guys were my exception because of how badly I wanted any physical representations of them. Really wish the visor and grille on the hammer trooper's helmet matched the other two, and also that the baton trooper existed in any way, but this is still better than what's currently available in 3.75", especially when we almost don't have the staff trooper "checked off" anymore with how many people would probably re-buy it on the new clone body instead of the previous skinny one. Although I suppose TBS collectors might feel the same way on that subject, with these three all being on the older pin-joint body? I dunno, these seem pretty good to me, but I also don't know what I'm missing since I don't have any newer 6" clones and likely never will.
I should qualify that "pretty good" assessment a bit, I forgot why I always left these guys in standing poses until trying to get them into something more dynamic just now, these legs are not super great to work with. Really missing the swivel at the upper knee the TVC figures have, not being able to spin the upper leg armor out of the way of the crotch is a fairly severe issue for getting into a decent kneeling pose. Still not terrible or whatever, but I'm starting to understand why they moved away from this design.
>>11644694>>11644694I'm thinking they did not reuse the TVC purge trooper helmet because it's probably too small and ball socket is a different size for the Andor clone body.And yeah that TBS body is really bad compared to the new ones. They are making the commander on the new body in a two pack with patrol trooper which I am looking forward to. They added the missing ammo pouches but then forgot the kama straps… there's always something baka. They also went back to the dull visor for it. I like the hammer's brighter red visor because it looks more like it's glowing and adds a nice bit of color to an otherwise pretty monochrome design
>>11643974The stands are cool, I would take some for $2. If I saw it in a store, not paying for shipping and shit.
>>11643676>2 girls
>>11644694I considered just buying some of the bootleg Airborne troopers and dyeing them black to make my own. But after that cost plus then having to get the kamas and weapons off Etsy, and the time to sink into painting everything, it would be a bit more than what I normally would want to pour into just a trooper type that Hasbro SHOULD be making anyway. I think now after this reveal, there's a good chance they'll knock them out soon enough so I'm just going to wait. Especially when a third game is coming at some point (and a rumor is swirling about a big Star Wars game announcement coming soon which is either Jedi 3 or related to the KOTOR remake), there's no reason they wouldn't be able to use that as an excuse to put out a set of them.
>>11644769I would imagine that, in theory, the size of the ball socket in the helmet shouldn't matter since the new body uses a double-ball neck piece, so you could just make that piece with a different-sized top ball and then still use the purge trooper head. Not sure if that actually happened or not, just seems easier than fully re-designing the whole helmet and it'd also explain why it looks like a purge trooper rather than an airborne. And yeah, I saw that new commander, seems worth the buy for actual TBS collectors, but as someone who only got these purge troopers as placeholders I'm gonna keep myself content with the commander I have and save the money for hopefully getting it in 3.75" later.>>11644977Yeah there's just way too many steps to turning a bootleg airborne into a purge trooper, I do not trust myself to be able to do the little white chevron details on the armor effectively, and even if I could I'd still need to conjure the pauldrons, the weapons, cut off the airborne torso straps, and also somehow get a normal non-airborne left shoulder on it. On the subject of customs, though, since you mentioned dyeing, do you happen to know if it's possible to dye just the unpainted plastic without messing with what's painted? I've wanted to try turning the aldhani andor into a ferrix trooper for a while now, found some on clearance over the black friday weekend to work on, but ideally to do it right I'd want to avoid the mistake the TBS figure made of the whole thing being the exact same color, the armor should look very slightly brighter than the uniform as far as I can tell from stills of the show and if possible I'd love to keep the rest of the little detailing as it originally is, e.g. the silver bits on the torso and the dirt on the boots. Obviously need to create/find a resin-print of the helmet somehow too, and deal with actually painting that, but I can't really cross that bridge without having a guy to put the helmet onto first.
It's harder to clearly make out in S1, but in S2 on Ghorman it's extra clear the armor's the same semi-greenish dark gray color as it is on Aldhani, just the uniform is black instead of green, which in theory makes this an easy custom to pull off, if there's a way to dye the unpainted green plastic of the uniform without damaging the paint for the armor, which seems theoretically possible but google has not been kind to me so far as everything I've been able to find so far assumes you want to strip the paint and talks about doing so first and/or adding acetone into the dye to do it for you, but isn't clear on if the dye will work on the unpainted parts without the added acetone that'd eat the paint.
>>11643527I agree with you. He got the full set to quickly. Should’ve be a season by season upgrade.
>>11645238the thing that really annoyed me about the Din style armour is that they copied it for all other Filonalorians, even down to the mismatched thigh armour which makes no sense because Din's kit was supposed to be pieced together and now everyone's wearing the same setup
>>11645275Yeah I don't understand why everyone had the mismatched thigh armor. Even after getting beskar, Din had mismatched thighs for some reason. And on the first black series beskar, the right thigh still has some brown on it, almost like he kept the original part and just coated some of it in beskar instead of making an all new one
>>11642058>>11642059Y'all were right. There are three Ross' within 4-5 miles on one another and one was next to a large Target and I had to return a Jazz Pacific and get other things.Two of the stores had a lot of Black Series but not that droid. The store I didn't photograph also had two other Andor TV show Jedi's but these are pretty much the same figures I have noticed when I moved stuff around the pegs for the past 3-4 months. Today was the first time I saw a LOT of them on a shelf like this.
>>11645408In-universe, I assume it's cause some of the beskar was saved for future foundlings. Irl, they probably did it to keep the design from being too symmetrical/boring.
>>11643108Wtf is with you guys and mandalorians you are fucking obsessed with those assholes. They are boring.
>>11645957
>>11645965He is right Disney Mando slop that Hasbro keeps spamming sucks. Now if it was EU kino Mandos that would be a different story
SOVL
>>11646354>tfw when they gave someone like Coruscant Senate an all new mold instead of just repainting ChewbaccaCurrent year Hasbro would never
>>11633633got pic rel from my mother. Do you guys open the box or keep it closed so to not damage the card? I like to have my figures out but it also has a charme as it is
>>11646463If you don't have a loose collection of retro figs for this to go with, I might just keep it carded because it's not like you can really pose or do anything with it
>>11646463The Retro Collection isn't going to be worth anything. Just open it
>>11645957>>11646198The shows definitely went downhill, but I still think they're neat. Would be ecstatic to see some EU mandos though
Love me Mandos. Simple as.
Unironically, Mandos are the only things keeping the identity of Star Wars intact these days. I still fondly remember the days when Mandos were barely a part of pop culture and was something only nerds knew about as the lore explanation for Boba Fett's cool armor. I'm happier to see something that was so entrenched in nerd culture as Mandalorians be the current "face" of Star Wars.
>>11646560>>11646726I liked the Disney Mandos a lot at first. But they are so lame now. The "lore" with not taking off the helmets and the darksaber and all that stuff became so messy and inconsistent. Most of the armor designs and colors are kinda ugly and random too and don't evoke what the Fett armor did. After they made Boba and Din lame, I don't think people care that much about mandalorians anymore. The figures are pegwarmers/Ollie's fodder because all the Disney designs feel like a bootleg version of real Star Wars. I got some of them when they were new but now I hate having them in my collection but can’t even sell them because they are worthless and no one wants them
>>11646726>Mandos are the only things keeping the identity of Star Wars intact these daysThen Star Wars should die off. Because this is repetitive hell.
>>11646726>I'm happier to see something that was so entrenched in nerd culture as Mandalorians be the current "face" of Star Wars.What a stupid take. It's made everything absolutely horrible. It never needed to happen, it's them trying to push Boba Fett, but their version, so they can claim all the royalties. It's insane.
>>11646896>so they can claim all the royaltiesthey own boba fett too
>they have to pay george royoolties if they use his charactoorsdo smoothbrains really?
>>11646930To this day I still see people saying that they got rid of the EU so that they didn't have to pay royalties to the original authors, even though Disney immediately started reissuing those same books just with the Legends banners
>>11646937It sounds like those people are confused about the situation where Disney wasn't paying royalties to several Star Wars authors after their acquisition, including Alan Dean Foster.
>>11646895>Star Wars should die off. Nah.>>11646930They genuinely have no fucking clue of what they're talking about.
>>11641113Just finished survivor. Fantastic exploration, merrin and cal's corny romance is just refreshingly uncomplicated. the final act twist kinda sucks, and the combat is nothing of note. give it a genuine 6.5 out of 10
with a possibe remake of KOTOR, do you guys think well get more old repblic figures? its criminal that they didnt already made kreia
>>11647124I just want HK-47 and T3-M4 (with lightning/shock attack accessory)
Hoping for some good stuff related to Battle of Geonosis for TVC tomorrow besides the Phase I Clone that's already been pipelined. A New B2 droid would be fantastic.
>>11647533Not sure what to expect now that there are no pipelines besides the clone. I think I am done with my 6 inch collection and for TVC will probably only get things that can go with the gunship so yeah hopefully some prequel stuff
>>11647571I just want them to bring a couple of big surprises. This Gift the Galaxy campaign has been a massive bust compared to last year when we got both the Anakin and HTTE 3-packs.
>>11647124do we want darth treya or kreia first? the latter for me
Looks like another event on Sunday too. This will probably have physical samples of whatever it is they're showing tomorrow and maybe then some. This was the place where Steve Evans first revealed the cardbacks for Padme and Shaak Ti when they were showing off the Gunship
>>11647589>Gift the GalaxyOh yeah I forgot about that. Did they not do it this year because I think it was supposed to be weekly reveals on starwars.com
>>11647667They did it since every major retailer had banners and landing pages for it, but I don't think anything new actually came out in terms of toys. All we got were preorders for some reissues like Battle Damaged Grievous for Black Series
>>11647652Gay
>>11647061You genuinely are a dumbass if you don't know what's actually going on with the franchise, and has been since Disney bought it.
>>11647755Elaborate
TVC Greedo rereleaseTVC Snow trooper rereleaseTVC General VeersTVC Poggle the Lesser
Legit never thought they'd do him again, I'm so happyAlso probably means we're getting a regular Geonosian soldier soon
>>11648150I'm hoping that this is setting us up for a fairly large playset of the Geonosian arena to go along with the gunship
>>11648108I feel like out of the three imperials from that set, people probably care the least about getting the snow trooper commander on a single card for army building. Would have made more sense to repack the sand or scout trooper. But both of those suck anyway so I guess it's good they didn’t and maybe they will improve them in the future lolVeers helmet looks weird like it's too short and also missing the chin strap. I don't think the chest armor is removable like on the black series? I used to really want him in TVC but I don't think I care that much anymore.Poggle probably means there is an arena playset coming otherwise I’m not sure it makes sense to make him over a generic geonosian warriorYeah I don't know if I’ll get any of these especially at $20. I think I’m okay with my saga collection Greedo too
>jedi with armor>phase 2 cloneWhy do they keep doing this. They did it with Anakin and phase 2 Rex and Obi-Wan and phase 2 212th. They should all be phase 1 because the jedi armor was from early in the war. Plus we already have phase 2 212th and Wolffe, would've been a good opportunity to do versions that we don't have
>cutting into the boot for the hingeoh my god it looks so bad. They said they reused the hips and thighs too from something else guessing light cruiser Luke. Can't be bothered to do all new tooling for major main characters but will blow the budget on disney slop peg warmers
>>11648108Veers is just the TVC AT-AT Commander with a new head
>>11648155Plo had that look throughout the whole series
>>11648159A lot of people have been complaining about that choice since the reveal in Brazil. Supposedly one IG, either Brandon or Mr. Stevie said these are just prototypes and the new samples they had just received looked better. I'm willing to reserve judgement because as we've seen with some of the recent OT figures, what they show in the reveals and promo photos is often different than what the final figure is. Worst comes to worst, I'll just swap his legs with Old Ben's.
>>11648164It's a completely different mold anon... Veers uses the new Piett officer body with ball hips and rocker ankles. There is no part reuse from the AT-AT commander>>11648175Ok that is fair. Still would have been nice to get a p1 helmet>>11648221These seemed like the final or closer to final versions on today's stream. At the Brazil event they looked hand painted but Obi-Wan here looked like he had a photo real head. I doubt they are going to change the boot hinge
>>11648270They should be showing them off in person at that RedFive thing on Sunday. Hopefully we'll get more clarification on whether these are final models or not then.
Jesus, they really shit the bed with these awful reveals.
>>11648150You can stick it up your ass for the $20 they want for it
>>11648150I can't imagine they aren't planning on using some of that tooling for a new Geonosian soldier. They were in that sketch of the poster Mr. Stevie shared for the BoG theme.
>https://youtu.be/lAmkl1jL0fooh fuck
>>11648501I was captivated at the start I thought we would get a cool new space fantasy franchise but when I heard the lightsaber ignite my face fell realizing it's just more Star Wars slop. I bet they repurposed what progress they made on the KOTOR remake into this and it's probably gonna be a typical Lucasfilm mess with a Rey clone girl boss protag. I wanted to see Jedi 3, I would have welcomed that.
>>11648501Meh
>>11648512>but when I heard the lightsaber ignite my face fell realizing it's just more Star Wars slopThis, lmao. I groaned and cringed. It's all so played out, derivative and reductive. Star Wars has ended years ago, and seeing the corpse being paraded makes me want to vomit.
>>11648501Cool I guess but this shit is vaporware in my eyes until I see actual gameplay and a release date.
>https://youtu.be/RiavNl4qxWY>wow I've always wanted to fly the speeder from Solo: A Star Wars story through the Star Destroyer ruins on Jakku!Said no one fucking ever holy fuck
>>11648607According to the steam page, you can customise your vehicle.>BUILD AND CUSTOMIZE YOUR CRAFT>Pilot different classes of repulsorcraft each with distinct physics and playstyles. Build a ride that showcases your style and gives you a competitive edge.It has Sebulba, but I won't buy it unless we see my main man, Ben Quadinaros.
>>11648155>>11648175They couldn't even try make it accurate, the first Plo was just the Mace body and now this one is just the TCW Mace body with the gauntlets
>>11648607Looks fun. We've needed a new Star Wars racing game
>>11648155What bugs me the most about a lot of these "updated" clones is that most of the detailing and wear of the armor is almost completely gone. It is especially obvious on figures like Cody. I almost like the original/archive one more than the updated one on the RotS card.
>>11648607>the speeder from Solo: A Star WarsThat speeder design is actually the only good part of that entire movie>JakkuI have insane Jakku fatigue at this point. Somehow I never got tired of Tatooine but Jakku just pisses me off whenever I even hear about it. It's like an entire planet is an industry plant.
>>11648607Yeah this is typical tone deaf Disney crap
>>11648155Guys, guys, look! Another clone! What a treat! Another clone you guys! Yipeee! ANOTHER CLONE!
>>11648781Clones are the best selling Star Wars figures because majority of people like them and they don't cost much to produce since they are just repaints so there will always be clones
>>11648607Chad here,actually, I've said that. I'm saying it now.I fuck with the Solo movie designs big time. I find them to actually be some of the best SW designs in existence. I enjoyed seeing those on screen.I have fucked more pussy than you ever have, guaranteed. Ergo, my opinion eclipses yours.
>>11648842>Chad here,>actually, I've said that. I'm saying it now.>I fuck with the Solo movie designs big time.>I have fucked more pussy than you ever have, guaranteed.>Ergo, my opinion eclipses yours.holy cringe batman>I find them to actually be some of the best SW designs in existence. I enjoyed seeing those on screen.The train was cool and the range trooper is badass
>>11648799TVC 501st clones are literally pegwarming right now
>>11648842I'll tolerate Solo stuff but not sequel shit like Jakku also yeah pretty cringe post anon>>11648893Maybe because they are $20 or people already have a lot of 501st. Usually clones don't pegwarm but desu it doesn't matter because clones being popular and everyone liking them is just an obvious fact and it is pretty delusional to argue otherwise
any chance that we will get a single release of the new palpatine? or a clone wars one like Hot Toys did
>>11648953Probably not with how low effort it was, it was just a Luke with shitty inaccurate soft goods on it. Doesn’t even feel worth rereleasing to me, they should make a better Palpatine instead
Twenty goddamn dollars for a fucking TVC figure. Fuck this world. No. I give up.
>>11648842Aside from the twist with Enfys Nest, I really liked Solo. A lot of the designs in it were neat. I wish Hasbro would give us some figures in TVC of the Sabaac players like Therm Scissorpunch or the card dealer (who would also go with the Nevarro Cantina). But we still don't even have Dryden Vos or Qi'ra in the line so the chances of that happening at this point are less than 0.
Pussy Conoisseur here.I hereby declare that I could give a fuck about Disney Star Wars getting fucked over constantly.I love all Star Wars, that shit is magical.Acolyte? It was gay, but I still loved it. Everyone here talking about "Star wars is dead" needs to head on over to /mlp/ and shut the fuck up. Why are you here complaining?I like the sequels even though they did Luke absolutely dirty. I'm a simple man. Love space adventures and pussy, what can I say?>>11649109>>11648886>>11648607I enjoy all.I wish for Solo 2.

>>11649210It is crazy to me that instead of Solo 2, they are still supposedly continuing development on the Lando movie. And I liked Glover in the role just fine and obviously the character is as classic as they come. But really? What makes them think that will do any better at the box office than a sequel to something that found its audience when it went to streaming
>>11649109>I really liked SoloYou're a disgusting human being.
>>11649210>I like the sequelsJesus Christ, there's actually something wrong with people like you. This is why Star Wars is dead. This right here.
>>11648781at least wolf has a new hat.
>>11646571>>11646560cool stuff, anon
>>11648150everything is going as planned
>>11648150>$20
>>11649449uhhhhh Rose im gonnna....REEEEEYYYYY
>>11649332these two sets together are only like 70 bucks,mo value
>>11649554God damn the new one looks so much better. Never really thought I'd need an upgrade of him but I had to buy him
>>11649554I wonder if Nute Gunray is also coming. Tbh I probably like his AOTC look the least between the three. But I feel like Poggle is kind of random if there is not more adjacent worldbuilding planned. So we could potentially be looking at >arena playset>Nute Gunray>young Boba>tummy Padme>the three arena creatures>generic geonosiansThat does seem pretty unrealistic though to get all of that… But I also feel like without all of that Poggle is kind of an unnecessary figure that no one was really asking for.
>>11649565>but I had to buy him>$20
>>11649569I don't think they'd bother with Poggle at all unless we were also getting some Geonosians. It's odd that he's being revealed first but my bet is that they sculpted a new Geonosian and then decided that enough of the sculpt can be reused for Poggle. He's also an easier sell than the other Separatist leaders because most of them are just cowardly businessmen in fancy robes whereas Poggle looks like a military commander and just has a more visually striking design than Nute Gunray or Passel Argente. I'd say the only other Separatist that has that visual wow factor is Wat Tambor.
So is this guy just going to go "b-but $20!" every time someone says they like Poggle
>>11649571Yea and? TVC is still the cheapest 1:18 line I collect
>>11649577It sucks that the line is $20 now and I'm still getting pickier about what I get but I've wanted a new Poggle for a long time so I'm biting the bullet.
>>11649595It's worth noting that on the livestream they mentioned he was a pretty expensive figure to produce while pointing out all the paint apps and detail. If Poggle was more popular you know they'd use the paint as an excuse to put him on a deluxe card.
i know it's geonosis time but we need an all new grievous in TVC so frickin bad
>>11649605They seem to be getting to a lot of main characters lately so hopefully 2027
>>11649605We really do. They've been releasing some ROTS stuff lately, hoping he will be one of the random ones to show up. I would be fine paying deluxe for him if they go all out.
>>11649605I think we'll get it next year. Which kinda sucks for me because I thought they wouldn't make a new Grievous so I paid too much for the Legacy Collection one a while ago
>>11649577Nope, every time someone talks about TVC. Because fuck you for being a pay piggy.
>>11649720Not sure why it upsets you that people are buying things they like
>>11649722You're why the line sucks now.
>>11645431Guess I should check Ross for ol' Resting Bitch Face there.
Anyone have Death Star Supervisor yet?
>>11649759It doesn't though
>>11649759What is it you don't like about TVC?
>>11649595>I've wanted a new Poggle for a long time so I'm biting the bullet.Same. He looks good enough that I don't mind the price too much. I'm absolutely not army building Geonosians for that price though. All I can hope is that they eventually do a Geonosian 4 pack on Pulse or something.
more like Poggers the Greater
do you think episode 1 sidious as a black series is a crazy ask? would it just end up being another acolyte pegwarmer?
>>11650106Isn't the costume almost the same as the Emperor's just without a scarred and deformed head? Honestly Palpatine figures are boring to because they are fully soft goods
>>11649976More like Poggle the Pegwarmer at Twenty FUCKING US Dollars
Looks like they'll be revealing something Cantina related at the RedFive event today
>>11650155he's fan channel, he's not going to be on the pegs
this one dude says he's not mad about poggle but he seems really mad about poggle
>>11650255Really boggles my poggle
>>11650255It's funny because he says he's just mad about the $20 price hike and the state of TVC as a whole but it wasn't until someone said they liked Poggle that he started screeching BUT HE'S TWENTY DOLLARS and then when asked he won't elaborate what issues he has with TVC
So did they do anything at all for TFA's anniversary? Seems weird that they wouldn't do anything for the one sequel that still has any goodwill of any kind.
>>11650328Best me to it
>>11650328Oh shit he gets a vibrosword?
>>11650328Oh boy, another Mando. And is that Grogu? Wow, we haven't had any of those before!
>>11650273The issue? How about it being $20. How about them selling another Snowtrooper Commander for $20. Or a fucking barely improved General Veers for $20. Fuck you you fucking simpleton.
>>11650255You seem like an idiot
>>11650155The prices was went up like almost three months ago. Why are you still malding about it? Just wait for a Pulse outlet sale if you can't justify it at that price.
>>11650328These pauldrons are the ones that hook around arm peg right? Would it be possible to take the left arms off and put in on the new target exclusive one?
>>11650348I'm wondering where this guy was when the prices jumped to $17 a few years ago
>>11650345When you see someone at the grocery store buying milk do you also sperg out at them for paying more for it than they were a year ago?
>>11650372It's also really weird to single out TVC when prices are going up across the industry and across retail as a whole, it's almost like there's something going on that's forcing companies to pay more and pass the cost onto the consumer, I wonder what it could be
>>11650360Yes. This is a good idea.
>>11650348Why are you justifying it? You piece of shit.
>>11650345>a fucking barely improved General VeersThe last general veers in this scale was from 19 years ago, and had swivel elbows and no knees. The "AT-AT Commander" in TVC was not made to look like Veers, and had hips you could barely move from how firm the skirt was, and is also 16 years old, and is horribly expensive secondhand. We have not made any approach at this character in over a decade and a half, and this one is significantly improved by having full articulation that actually works. Should it be $20? No, but the neat thing about non-essential purchases is you can wait for a sale and choose not to pay $20, and unless you think these are gonna sell out at $20, a sale will come.
>>11650393The neat thing is you making excuses for them screwing everyone over on these really unneeded updates.
>>11650385Because I'd rather have TVC than not and I'm not a poorfag
>>11650406What figures do you want, anon?
>>11650406>last Veers was almost 20 years ago>they make an update>you are free to not buy this one if you prefer the old one>"they're screwing everyone over!"Who is this screwing over?
>>11650409>>11650410He has the exact same speech pattern as a dude who was here for a while bitching about every release because it wasn't OT, but then ignoring anyone who asked which OT characters he wanted. Now that 3/4th of this wave is OT he can't use that as an excuse so he seems to have just gone for generalized bitching about the line and anyone who buys it without specifying the problem.
>>11650393So it's not a needed figure at all. Why did they waste a slot on this?
>>11650421What figures do you want, anon?
>>11650408I'd rather the line be dead than warm shelves and screw over businesses sitting there at exuberant prices that nobody will pay for.
>>11650422Tell us how much you want a $20 Lando
>>11650423But people do pay for it, otherwise the line would be dead.
>>11650424You're the one claiming that Veers is wasting a slot. What character would you prefer to have in that slot?
>>11650410>Who is this screwing over?People that try to collect Star Wars. But you think quadruple the price is worth it huh?
what the fuck does this sperg want
>>11650425The line is dead. Do you really think this is a healthy line?
Where's the replacement sticker for the overpriced TIE advanced? They not got on that yet?
>>11650429Would Walmart be interested in supporting it more and getting exclusives if it wasn't? Because that's what the team talked about last weekend.
>>11650437It isn't. Walmart puts that shit on clearance instantly. The line does not make money for them and it isn't bringing it attention anymore either. Bad decisions from the "team" have lead to this point.
>>11650443And yet here they are, bringing out an exclusive for TVC, which they haven't done in two years. I think Walmart knows whether the line is viable for them more than you bud.
>>11650461Wow, I'm sure that isn't overpriced and won't go on clearance instantly. You putz. I don't think you know anything at all.
>>11650465We'll see. I get the feeling you're the same person who was claiming the Gunship wouldn't fund and then when it did, you still claimed it was a failure.
>>11650494I bought the gunship you retarded fuck.
>>11650517that's even worse than supporting $20 tvc dude
>>11650517But why? You're not supposed to buy updated versions of old things otherwise you're killing the line.
>>11650517>complains that significantly improved versions of old figures for $20 are killing the line>paid $450 for a marginal improvement of a ship that originally sold for $40Do you even know what you're arguing anymore?
>>11650406>>11650421>unneededWhat, exactly, is your standard for when something "needs" an update? What "needs" an update more than a recognizable OT character who hasn't seen shelves in nearly 20 years, and the previous version wasn't good?
>>11650427A new Veers has been something people have been asking for since the Officer body got updated. The only complaint I've seen about this new one is the cardback being a repeat of the AT-AT Commander instead of a new one specifically for the character.
>>11650536Oh right, you're a retard.
>>11650555>significantly improved versions of old figuresWhich isn't this Veers.
>>11650590
>>11650591
>>11650593
>>11650596
>>11650597Also they teases this flight stand for a Black Series figure
>>11650596>no paint at allGood to see they're not spending any money on these.
>>11650328SLOPLOPngl it's a good looking figure and the new weapons are cool but I can't bring myself to put anything from that garbage on my shelf>>11650604I don't think we'll see weathered clones again. I'm sure it's due to cost cutting but I also wonder if a reason is customizers not wanting weathering so they can do it themselves. >>11650603For a black series figure? Interesting don't think they’ve made a stand for a figure before
>>11650603Oh that's a $20 stand right there. $40 Deluxe Grogu incoming!
>>11650585What's wrong with it?
>>11650615>I don't think we'll see weathered clones againthhey just need a touch of dry brushing or something to highlight the sculpted details more so they dont look so cheap.
>>11650585Right because this old one is SO much better. Everyone loves figures with zero knee joints and swivel elbows.
We don't have shit here in Albania and the shipping is too much. I just want 4Lom and Zuckuss
Why did they never do retro packaging stuff for AOTC for the anniversary?Even both clone wars shows got themThat version of Obi Wan has had the least releases and it's my favorite and I never saw it the first time.
>>11650737Not everything needs janky articulation
>>11650800There is nothing "janky" about TVC's articulation
>Marvel comes out swinging with more awesome shit>Star Wars farts out some rehashesCool, cool, cool.
>>11651009So... More of the same? Legends is the line I collect the most of. I wish other lines would be as robust.
>>11651009Ironic considering Marvel Legends is basically rehash the line.
>>11650328Oh thank goodness. I was afraid we'd never get a Mando and Grogu in this scale.
>>11651009What characters did you want to see for Star Wars?
>>11651371nta but there are a shit load of EU characters that are left to be done. I mean it's been over 2 years since we got Malgus and we still have no one else to display with him.
>>11651380Thanks for answering, not sure why that other dude can't respond despite how much he bitches about Veers and Poggle
>>11651385Because you're a troll
>>11650328Whyyyyyy
>>11651517The other guy who is annoyed that Veers is taking up slots refuses to say what characters he wants instead because I'm a troll? What?
Hey guys, Brandon here. Yes, the Brandon.Hope you're ready to pay $30 for your figures mates hahahahahahaha
>>11651715Fuck you Brandon. This would have never happened on Patrick's watch
Aliexpress 3.75" Commander Thorn came in today, I can't do a proper comparison for this one since my old official Thorn came from a big cheap used lot on eBay, and as such has some paint wear and is missing the shoulder antenna, but being used isn't the cause of the helmet being tiny, or why the wings on the top are severely misaligned, or why its articulation is worse, so I'll post 'em next to each other anyway since it's more helpful than nothing. Both figures missed the rank badge he's supposed to have on his chest, but the bootleg did at least fix the color of the kama trim, which is nice.
What I can do properly, though, is some quick scenes with him, because this bootleg can pose a lot better than the old official one, so I'm gonna take advantage of it.
